متن کاملTwo realms of dark adaptation
The recovery of rod responsiveness after saturating flashes is greatly retarded above a certain critical level of rhodopsin bleaching (approximately 0.1%). A mathematical description of the process of turn-off of the phototransduction cascade allows attributing different phases of the recovery to specific products of rhodopsin photolysis. The fast phase is determined by quenching of metarhodops...

Our research has focused on Computational Logic, particularly Logic Programming, and its appropriateness to model morality, namely moral permissibility, its justification, and the dual-process of moral judgments regarding the realm of the individual.

In part metaphysical, in part methodological, they addressed fundamental questions in the treatment of symmetry, in the relationship of physics to mathematics, in logic that are if anything even more pressing today than they were in Leibnizs time. As I shall read them, they also expressed a distinctive and uncompromising form of...
متن کاملTwo hits revisited again.
INTRODUCTION AND METHODS Since the concept of the "two hit hypothesis" was introduced over 20 years ago, a wealth of genetic data has accumulated on the mutations found at tumour suppressor loci. Perhaps surprisingly, these data conceal large gaps in our knowledge which genetic and functional studies are beginning to uncover. The "two hit hypothesis" must be updated to take account of this new ...
